#058: Red flakie; Unique or not unique?

Nubar 2010, Sally Hansen Hidden Treasure, Nfu Oh Opal series…I used to be seriously CRAVING to these polishes which is called “flakies”. I’ll say I “used to be”, because thanks to lot of brands there’s pretty many flakie polishes available now; I’m happy about that, but honestly, now I think it’s even a bit too much :P

So here’s Elle’s Spell from Barielle. This is red jelly with flake glitter. Iridescence effect of flakes is not so unique - it’s Nubar 2010-like red-orange-green flake - and also red jelly with glitter is not so unique too - AKA Ruby Pumps - I think mixture of these two resulted as pretty unique shade.

As Ruby Pumps, because it’s pretty sheer I applied over a coat of red polish. I did 3 coats to get dense flakes on my nail, but maybe 2 is already OK…it sparkles THAT much! Of course how it blings are bit different from Ruby Pumps’ glitter, but it’s really beautiful; I’m just happy that I own BOTH. Can’t really compare!! :D
